Valens Semiconductor Announce New Reference Design for the Transmission of Display Port over HDBaseT

HOD-HASHARON, Israel --(Business Wire)--

Valens has developed a new reference design solution for transmitting
Display Port audio and video over HDBaseT together with ST
Microelectronics. The solution will be demonstrated this week at the HDBaseT
Alliance's booth at the Integrated Systems Europe 2013 conference
(Hall 7, Booth #7C171).

The HDBaseT technology features the unique 5Play™ feature set that
enables the delivery of uncompressed high definition video, audio,
Internet, controls and power over a single cat5e/6 cable up to 100
meters, eliminating the common issues professional installers face
concerning cable distance and location of available power outlets.

Until now, HDBaseT products were mainly transmitting HDMI and/or DVI.
The new ST-Valens solution provides professional installers and systems
integrators with the flexibility of being able to use the commonly-used
Display Port interface.

Valens developed this solution in response to the growing demand for
display port solutions, enabling customers to benefit HDBaseT's
convergence and long distance capabilities with Display Port.

The new Display Port over HDBaseT reference design solution uses ST
DP2650 and STD2600 chipset and Valens' VS100 chipset to transmit
uncompressed video and audio over a single CAT5e/6 cable. It facilitates
the transmission of Display port over long distances, in a simple,
plug-and-play manner.
